Grade Four Curriculum
¡Hola a todos! As students enter their final years in our elementary program, I try my best to equip them with the necessary background they need going into middle school and the ability to carry a conversation about themselves!
Fourth graders this year will review basic conversational skills, learn how to describe their personality and physical traits in Spanish, and participate in a story-telling unit to expand their use of verbs! An additional unit is included on this page covering people in places in the school -- this is a very manageable unit to complete outside of the classroom, if students wish to learn more, and can be supplemented with the materials below.
Language learning requires extensive practice, so it is very important for students to practice outside of our Spanish classroom, as well! Please use this page to support the learning we do in our classroom
Remember: PRACTICE MAKES PERMANENT!!!
Suerte!
